Car Seat Safety Check Conducted at Pybus By Professionals

With shifts in car seat laws, curious first time parents with questions or those that just want to double check, the Child Car Seat Safety Check on Saturday, October 12, might be a helpful event to attend. Lifeline Ambulance Child Passenger Safety Technicians will be on Pybus Plaza offering free child car seat safety check from 10-2.

"We will talk to parents and caregivers about what kind of seats their children should be in and we also go over just general child safety tips," said Yvonne Kennedy, training coordinator. "We will also be providing information about the new Washington state car seat laws that are going into effect January 1st of 2020."

Certified technicians will also be providing information on proper installation and child passenger restraints. Technicians will also be offering car seats and belt positioning booster seats for families that are in need of them.

"I think it's important because nine out of ten car seats are installed improperly," said Kennedy.

This event was also coordinated by Safe Kids USA and Wenatchee Police Department's Child Passenger Safety Technician, Eveline Roy. It was partially funded by a North Central Emergency Car Council grant.
